Curious how the plots on the left would compare if it compared population densities instead of populations.

I really like your idea. It would be great insight to have.

Yeah, the graph on the left is the only one I question …. There’s not many cities in the US above 10M, and NYC has a lot of transit and walking users

Edit: I didn’t see any data source.

  • By strict city boundaries, no us city is 10M so that graph would be invalid
  • By Metropolitan Statistical area, only nyc and la are 10M, and Chicago is close, so I would have expected more than 10% walk/transit
